WIRED: Stopping Bullets With Style

bullet-proof-suitExcerpt:

The right suit can make a guy feel invincible – especially if it’s bulletproof. Colombian fashion designer Miguel Caballero specializes in Euro-style men’s ready-to-wear that’s light, elegant, and can stop a 9-millimeter slug. “Colombia is an ideal place for this business,” Caballero says. “First, because of the high quality of its leather, and second, because of its high index of violence.”

I think that the second reason is actually the first.

Now if Caballero would just come out with a line of western wear. . . . (Heck,his name even means “horseman”)
